Harmony has been described as a second naïveté, a second simplicity or innocence, where instead of seeing through everything, we see into everything, and at the core, we find not meaninglessness and banality but profound, inexpressible belatedness and beauty.*
Brian McLaren

After simplicity** comes
complexity,^ after complexity comes
perplexity,^^ after perplexity comes
harmony,*^ the new, larger
simplicity holding, in love and
with compassion, all
that we have experienced
for the sake of others.
